Re: Kernel build issues after yesterdays merge by Linus

Hi Tony,

quoted

Shows how much we use make install :) Below is a quick hack to get
you going but we should look at either fixing the Ubuntu
installkernel to handle extra optional args, or stop passing them
from the ppc64 kernel install.sh script.

It seems like passign the zImage files is probably wrong.  How about:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile b/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile
index ccc25ed..146d898 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile
+++ b/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile

@@ -390,7 +390,7 @@ $(obj)/zImage.initrd:	$(addprefix $(obj)/, $(initrd-y))
 	@rm -f $@; ln $< $@
 
 install: $(CONFIGURE) $(addprefix $(obj)/, $(image-y))
-	sh -x $(srctree)/$(src)/install.sh "$(KERNELRELEASE)" vmlinux System.map "$(INSTALL_PATH)" $^
+	sh -x $(srctree)/$(src)/install.sh "$(KERNELRELEASE)" vmlinux System.map "$(INSTALL_PATH)"
 
 # anything not in $(targets)
 clean-files += $(image-) $(initrd-) cuImage.* dtbImage.* treeImage.* \

Looks reasonable to me. Grant added this back in commit 29f1aff2 (powerpc:
Copy bootable images in the default install script) but the other archs have
gone in a different direction and created make zinstall targets.
